COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONBack in Black is our newest year-round beer available now in six pack cans and on draft. Brewed like an American IPA but with the addition of rich, dark malts, this beer has all the flavor and hop character you expect with a smooth, mellow finish.

Roasted and hoppy, like a Christmas tree being slow roasted in a moist fire. Bringing together "black" and "IPA", I tell you folks, itís harder than it looks. Itís delicious but itís dirty - dirty deeds, done dirt cheap. This beer will always fill your ballroom, the event is never small. A few of these and I just want to lie down outside, looking at the sky cause itís getting me high. What else can I say? Iím thunderstruck.

12 oz. can. Pours a dark cola brown with a 2 finger creamy beige head which recedes to leaves gobs of lace. Dark malt and pine resin on the aroma and the flavor as well. The interplay of hints of chocolate and pine resin hoppiness is interesting and delicious. Body is to the full side with a velvet like feel on the tongue. Nice!

From the 12 fl. oz. can. Stamped Enjoy by 7/3/15.It is one day later! Yipes! The pour is very dark brown under a boisterous, fluffy tan head. Not black as I thought it might be. The malt sweetness is the first thing I get in the aroma followed by a kind of floral hop presence. Medium body. The immediate sweetness makes way for a solid hop bitterness to close it out. It was a likable enough beer but might have been more likable 3 months ago.

27th June 2015: 12oz can split between five of us at the 2nd Annual Midlands tasting. Cheers Martin for this offering. The deep, dark mahogany body had a red hue around the edges, the head a thin beige covering. Slight smokiness to the whole brew: the over roasted malts rule the nose and flavour with that smoke feeling always in the background: no one else seems to mention it much in their ratings, but it stood out for me. Decent enough beer, but I am not really into smoky beers.
